LIEUTENANT GREEDY.

Lieutenant Greedy, Of Arctic fame, is pro-
posed by his friends throughout the United
States as the successor Of the late General
Hazen in charge OF the signal service bureau.
The suggestion is an excellent one. Al to
his qualifications for the position there can
be ne doubt. For the past sixteen years he
has been in the signal service on detailed
duty. and while pursuing his arduous %.
signments has o worldwide fame in the
Arctic. In those irigid regions he went
through dangers and sufferings that killed
the most OF his companions, and has left
him wrecked in health. His elevation to
the post suggested would be 4 merited rec
ignition OF his services to science and his
country. That he can satisfactorily dis
charge the duties OF the position goes with
out saying. As q scientific man he is far
ahead OF his predecessor, and he would
bring to the department . wealth OF infor-
nation acquired in his journeyings in the
frozen regions OF the North that can be
turned to good account in the signal bu-
reau. The appointment Of Lieutenant
Greedy to this place would be gratifying, We
believe, to the entire country.

ment offered to the sundry civil bill, for the

There are some : queer applications

day woman in Little Rock, Ar.
kansas applied for a pension on the ground
OF nervous debility. In her application she
explains that during the wal . wounded
Federal soldier wal brought into her
mothers house, where his leg was amputat-
cd. The spectacle threw the girl into con-
WILSON'S, from which she has never recov.
cred. She asks the government to allow
her $50 a month as compensation for her
suffering. Her claim is not more ridiculous
than some which have been allowed, and
possesses quite as much merit - claims
upon which thousands OF dollars are annu-
ally paid out.

The Board Of County Commissioners met
yesterday in morning session at 10 O'Clock.
They Immediately commenced auditing
claims for the care of the county poor.
This business took up the entire morning
session.
In the afternoon session the Board voted
W. w. Adams $500 for contract work in
keeping county roads in repair.
The matter OF the assessment of the
Montana Union was settled by fixing the
assessment at 81, ZOO per mile on all prop
erty in Silver Bow County. IAN explana-
ton is probably necessary here. The Utah
d Northern Railroad Company is assessed
Tor its narrow guage roadbed and track,
and this additional assessment to the

railroad company thought $1,000 was too
much. but q majority OF the Board decided
otherwise.]

b. B. No. Is.

A registration law which may work well
in settled communities will Sometimes fail
to prove satisfactory in . mining and stock
growing country. For instance, there are
men in Montana who have resided here for
nearly q quarter Of . century. Their bust
ness a. interested parties in mining orstock
growing enterprises frequently calls them
from their homes. Should this call neess-
! state their absence from their voting pre-
cinct between tho twentieth day Of August
and the tw~enty-frst Of October, they will
lose their vote, although their names may
have been placed upon tho great register the
year before. This ID wrong. No man
should DO compslled to appear year after
year before some registry agent and de-
scribe himself, his age. occupation, resi-
denes. etc., to sntitls him to vote. After
the first registration no other registration
should be required unless the voter shall.
change his voting precinct.
The object of q registration law is to pre-
serve the purity OF the ballot-box. It
should have NO other. But II. B. No. 10,
in it's present shape, will deny tho elective
franchise to hundreds Of our best citizens,
while buns and loafers who never got out
OF sight Of . gin mill can exercise it. Many
Of the former are away from their families
and homes, in the mountains, looking after
their mining interests, Or on the ranges,

the air Of lord, and enjoys q right denied

Mr.. Buskett's bill should be amended 80
as to provide that ons registration will
suffice, unless the voter move from one
voting ward or precinct to another, in
which case another registration shall be
required. There are other grounds upon
which valid objections can bs urged against
tho measure, among which is that the duty
OF registry agents 10 not made clear enough.
The House was too premature in passing
the bill, and the simple fact that with .
thirty days session still before it, it refused
